Default Valve Cover Breather

What brands of valve cover breathers are people using ? I was thinking of using the Billet Specialties but it looks like the air gets into the crankcase thru 5 or 6 small holes in the bottom. I am not sure if that is enough ventilation.

I have the original Shelby pentroof valve covers on my 427. My plan is to have one breather valve cover and one valve cover with a pcv running to the rear carb. I know the debate about the pcv and "how to ventilate". Assuming that this is how I want to go - for the folks who have something similiar, I would appreciate a product recomendation.

Thanks,

I have a Billet Specialties breather in one valve cover and a Billet Specialties PCV connected to the carb on the other valve cover. It works fine.

I just ordered a PCV and open breather from Performance Unlimited with the stainless steel "look" hose for the carb. Mirror finish and perfect! I highly recommend them. The PCV valves are specifically calibrated for the engine and the workmanship is incredible.
